The solution provides combat personnel with vital situational awareness on laser threats with a countermeasure availability by means of manual or fully automatic responses to areas of coverage/protection offered under dynamic conditions. The response options range from warning and/or obscuration only up to advanced soft kill, including third party effectors and platform weapons.

LEDS-50 – Laser detection

LEDS-50 is designed to provide crews with vitally important situational awareness of laser emissions associated with anti-armour threats and allow rapid countermeasure response. It forms the basic building block of the Land Electronic Defence System (LEDS) and comprises of an Active Defence Controller (ADC), and a number of laser warning sensors.

LEDS-50 provides 360° azimuth coverage of a platform by using four LWS-310 sensors with its inherent and anti-reflection capability. Full hemispherical coverage can be provided by adding a LWS-500 top attack sensor.
